Breakthrough

Yesterday was a breakthrough. Taylor and I went on a short walk (sin kiddos) and had a breakthrough. I'm always wishing he would hold my hand, put an arm around me, etc. and occasionally I mention this to which I am met with a myriad of reasons he can't or couldn't- i.e., kids, busy, etc. But yesterday we didn't have any distractions and I said wait.. here is an opportunity to hold my hand and you aren't because? I need an answer. He thought and finally said, "to be honest, I'm just not a touchy-feely sort of person." At first I was hurt but then I said I think this is progress. It's not your love language but it's mine so now you know that and I know that. And he said he will try to be better. And he did today, hold my hand and put his arm around me a few times. And this only took 11 years to figure out.
